Regex find and replace

TODO: collapasable, copyable, download, etc

In vs code, when I do a regex find and replace, how do I reference a capture group? Is it \1?Yes, in Visual Studio Code, when you perform a regex find and replace, you can reference a capture group by using the syntax \1, where the number represents the index of the capture group. The first capture group is \1, the second is \2, and so on.

For example, let's say you have the following text:

hello123world

And you want to swap the positions of the word and the numbers. You can use the following regex find pattern:

(hello)(\d+)(world)

And the replace pattern would be:

$3$2$1

The result would be:

world123hello

In this case, Visual Studio Code uses the $ character instead of the \ character to reference the capture groups.
